Welcome to Tooting Karate Club
Tooting Karate Club is a friendly place to learn traditional
Okinawan Goju Ryu style Karate. Under the expert guidance
of Sensei Linda Marchant, a 6th Dan Black Belt and world champion,
you'll learn a wide range of techniques from kicking and blocking,
to traditional set forms (or Kata), supplementary strengthening exercises
and pad work.

As a traditional style of Karate, our emphasis is on building
healthy minds and bodies and teaching fighting skills that are of practical
use in self defence situations. You can improve your fitness
and confidence levels drastically through the practice of Goju Ryu
Karate and there are many opportunities to train with masters as well
as enjoy social and competitive events. When you join us, you are joining
a vibrant club within a much bigger organisation that can give you
direct access to some of the highest graded and most respected karate
masters in the world.
We train twice weekly at our club which is located in Tooting,
South West London. It's walking distance from Tooting Broadway
Tube station (on the Northern Line) and there are separate classes
for adults and children on both Tuesdays and Saturdays. You are warmly
invited to take a look through our website to get a better understanding
about our style of karate. If you'd like to take that interest into
practice, do drop us an email or make an introductory phone call and
you will be most welcome to either watch or class or come and join
in.
